Key Takeaways

  1. High Neutral Rates: Markets suggest a prolonged higher neutral rate, limiting bond gains.
  2. Fed’s Dilemma: Economic conditions may delay the expected rate cuts.
  3. Investor Sentiment: Optimism grows despite potential headwinds in the bond market.

What Happened?

The bond market is signaling that higher interest rates could persist longer than anticipated. With 2024 halfway through, US Treasuries are close to erasing their losses for the year, as inflation and the labor market show signs of cooling. Traders are betting on Federal Reserve rate cuts as soon as September.

However, market expectations now indicate the economy’s neutral rate—borrowing costs that neither stimulate nor slow growth—could be much higher than the Fed projects. Forward contracts referencing the five-year interest rate in the next five years have stalled at 3.6%, well above the Fed’s estimate of 2.75%.

Why It Matters?

Higher neutral rates mean the market anticipates a more elevated floor for yields, suggesting limited upside for bonds. This is significant for investors hoping for a bond rally similar to last year. A Bloomberg gauge of Treasury returns showed a downtrend of just 0.3% in 2024, recovering from a 3.4% loss.

This optimistic sentiment may be challenged if the neutral rate remains high, impacting the Fed’s ability to cut rates. According to Troy Ludtka, senior US economist at SMBC Nikko Securities, “There will be fewer rate cuts, and interest rates over the next ten years could be higher than they were over the last ten years.”

What’s Next?

If the neutral rate has indeed risen, the Fed’s current benchmark rate of over 5% may not be as restrictive as perceived. This could delay the anticipated rate cuts, requiring more significant economic slowdown for substantial rate reductions. Economists expect upcoming data to show the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge slowed to 2.6% last month, still above the 2% target.

The unemployment rate remains low, indicating the economy is handling higher rates better than expected. Investors should watch for further inflation and labor market data to gauge the Fed’s next moves. Phoebe White of JPMorgan Chase notes, “We clearly have handled it very well,” reflecting the resilience of financial markets.
